Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Daimler Green, Coventry, in April and May 2005. Seven Trent Water Limited commissioned the work, which was carried out by Birmingham Archaeology during the excavation of a trench for a new sewer. Groundworks were monitored as the site is located in the area of the grange and parks of St. Mary''s Priory, a medieval monastic settlement (SMR 9371). The site is also in the vicinity of the medieval settlement of Whitmore (SMR 9239). The red clay natural subsoil was noted at a depth of 3.5m at the southern end of the service trench, beneath layers of 19th and 20th century demolition rubble. The natural subsoil was less deeply buried towards the northern end of the sewer trench, where it was only 0.2m below the modern surface. No archaeological features were recorded, although a quantity of medieval pottery was recovered from modern deposits. It is not clear from where this medieval pottery was derived. |
